No Surprise MORE Orders For Apple To Hack iPhones
No Surprise MORE Orders For Apple To Hack iPhones
So much for the just this one iPhone rhetoric, as predicted:
Justice Department Seeks to Force Apple to Extract Data From About 12 Other iPhones
The Justice Department is pursuing court orders to force Apple Inc. to help investigators extract data from iPhones in about a dozen undisclosed cases around the country, in disputes similar to the current battle over a terrorists locked phone, according to people familiar with the matter. . . .DISTRUST
Separately, federal prosecutors in New York are sparring with Apple over an iPhone seized in a drug investigation there. In that case, prosecutors filed a letter with U.S. magistrate judge James Orenstein late Monday that indicates there are other cases in which the government has obtained similar court orders, but the letter does not provide further detail. . . .
"The government suggests this tool could only be used once, on one phone. But thats simply not true," Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote last week in a letter to customers. "Once created, the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of devices... The government is asking Apple to hack our own users and undermine decades of security advancements."
The obvious result.
Stick with it Tim Cook and Apple!

No more torrents on The Pirate Bay starting 29th February
No more torrents on The Pirate Bay starting 29th February
The Pirate Bay has confirmed that all torrent files being shared by more than 10 people will be deleted on February 29. The decision is causing a small panic among the site’s users, but in reality little will change as all files will remain available through magnet links. The Pirate Bay crew told TorrentFreak that this is merely a “step forward in technology” and confirmed that the site is here to stay.
For half a decade The Pirate Bay has been the leading BitTorrent site, but soon its users will no longer be able to download .torrent files.
The first step in this direction will be taken on February 29, the Pirate Bay announced today.
Instead of deleting all torrent files at once, The Pirate Bay crew will start with all files that have more than 10 peers. This is to guarantee that people will still be able to download less popular files, which tend to start slower through magnets.
While there are fears that this is the end of The Pirate Bay, nothing could be further from the truth. For users of the site the upcoming switch is expected to go smoothly.
People will be able to download all files as usual, but instead of using a .torrent file downloads will be initiated through a magnet link. The actual content of the .torrent file will then be downloaded from other people instead of The Pirate Bay’s servers.
The Pirate Bay team told TorrentFreak that the transition to a magnet site is “a step forward in technology,” and one that will make the site more resistant to being shut down.
Without torrents it takes less bandwidth to host a Pirate Bay proxy site which are used to circumvent ISP blockades in countries like Italy, Ireland, The Netherlands and Belgium. In addition, the Pirate Bay will become much more portable and thus easier to move around.
How easy it is to carry a copy of a torrent-less Pirate Bay became apparent last week, when a user reduced the entire site to 90 megabytes – small enough to fit on a tiny thumb drive. The Pirate Bay team likes the idea of a “portable” backup of the site and told TorrentFreak that they are considering releasing an official version in the future.
It’s quite remarkable to see how The Pirate Bay has transformed in recent years. The site is no longer hosting a tracker, and soon .torrent files will be entirely replaced by magnet links. Despite these changes the iconic file-sharing site is picking up new users every week.
The Pirate Bay crew told TorrentFreak that users can be assured that they have no intention of going anywhere in the near future. With or without torrents, the site is here to stay.

Muso 1 3 21 A more flexible way to browse your music collection
Muso 1 3 21 A more flexible way to browse your music collection
Its difficult to define a program like Muso. Its not a player, nor a playlist manager. Its more like an alternative user interface to manage your music collection.
Once youve imported your music into Muso (either selecting individual folders on the hard drive, or your iTunes library), youll be able to manage your collection in a much more flexible way. Muso lets you browse complete albums or individual songs, and also sort or filter music by artist, year, rating and other criteria.
Muso includes an advanced tagging system – even with support for mood tags –, as well as the ability to group albums under the same artist, even if the artists name has slight spelling differences. The program includes album covers and information downloaded from Last.fm, Wikipedia and Amazon to display highly detailed pages about your favorite artists.
Like I said before, Muso is not a player in itself, but it can be linked to other third-party players like iTunes and Winamp. The link enables you to control the player from Musos interface and also displays the song currently playing, but nothing else. Theres a cool feature to generate random playlists, but Muso wont allow you to interact with them in any way – theyll just be added to your player.
Muso works great as an alternative interface to browse your music collection. Too bad it doesnt include playback features!
Download Muso 1.3.21 in Softonic

One more update Jaunty was tempting
One more update Jaunty was tempting
I updated to Jaunty, and two problems occurred on my Hp Pavilion DV7:
1) Sound was erratic
Googling a bit, I found the solution:
become root and in a terminal type:
echo "options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
And, et voila, let there be sound!!!
2) Tracker was going nuts, prompting that the index was corrupted, and re-indexing didnt help
Heres the solution:
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tracker/+bug/361205)
first delete ~/.cache/tracker
Then kill all tracker processes, restart and reindex...
Overall, seems a worthy upgrade...
